What a fun experience! Their tasting room is a stand-at-the-bar 1-1 service type experience. I'd recommend asking as many questions as you can think of because those ladies (shoutout to Christa and Lee!!!) know their stuff!! Adam Puchta is on the 7th generation of being owned by the same family. I hope the current kids love their life at the winery! They're constantly considering how to make the experience better for their patrons too - like even planting a cold hardy Verona grape closest to the road for folks to enjoy for photos. They grow many of their own grapes (Verona, Vidal Blanc, Vivant, Vignoles, and Norton), and have satellite vineyards where they grow other varieties such as chambourcin grapes. They frequently have live music, a small cafe for snacks, wines by the glass, wine slushies, and all the accessories you can want - including local honey. Enjoy!! read more

This was probably my favorite winery in Hermann, Missouri. It's huge and the wine slushes were so good. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was pretty good and came out fast. There were a lot of vendors set up selling different things and a live band playing, which made the whole vibe really nice. They also had plenty of shaded seating areas, which helped a lot, and parking wasn't too bad either. Overall this was definitely my favorite stop of the day and I'd for sure go back. read more

The service here was top notch. We did the wine tasting and they even give you snack pairings to go with specific wines. It was $10 for 5 samples, worth it!! We didn't stay long enough to try the food but it smelled delicious and the wine slushies were super good!! The atmosphere overall was one of our favorites. Would recommend this winery to anyone stopping in Hermann. read more

Had a private party before a reunion there, had never eaten their bistro food. Had the bistro burger and it was amazing!! Their wine is my favorite in the Hermann area! Service was excellent, we had a large group. The only thing was this was a group of elderly people for their 60th class reunion, we had to walk to the bistro to order and the food was brought out to us instead of someone taking our orders, for the people that aren't walking well or using a walker this was more difficult. Also there was someone mowing the grass while we were out there for awhile and most are hard of hearing and a loud lawnmower made it more difficult, it would have been nice if they would have waited until our group was gone. But overall a great experience! read more

Wine tasting was wonderful here! We went on a Sunday and it was lovely! No wait and the wine was delicious! The Vignoles and Berry Black were my favorites- perfectly sweet because I am a sweet wine kind of girl! The gift shop also was super cute with fun and different things in it. read more

Everyone should do an elevated tasting. It's fun and you get a charcuterie. They have live music, good service, and some cutie cats!

Stopped here while in Hermann on the trolley for the day. Honestly, not my favorite wines, but the employee we ended up working with was great! We got there decently early on a Friday, and had to wander around a bit before someone helped us. I am pretty sure one of the employees saw me and went immediately to an employees only area and shut the door - almost like he was running away from me. Once we found someone to help us, she was great! Very kind, informative and fun! She led us through our tasting and poured us a glass to share. read more

The Oldest Continuously Owned Family Farm Winery in the Country! I am absolutely in love with this winery... why you ask because they have 3 resident cats that they take care of! Vet visits and all. They love their felines so much that people drop off their unwanted cats at this winery, knowing they will be loved and cared for. You know a person has a good heart when a cat can approach them. I wish this family owned winery a lifetime full of happiness and continued success. Also, they make some yummy tasting sweet wines, koolaid wine as I call it. And offer free cave tours! 6 sweet wine tastings for $10 & you get to keep the glass. Thank you for making our tastebuds happy and thank you for giving love to all the cats! read more

For Missouri wines, this 7th-generation family of vinters knows how to grow grapes & produce very good vintages. Covering the gamut from dry whites to sherry & ports, 6-7 are award winners. Much prefer their white varietals to many others in local production, even the reds are decent. Excellent value, most hold up well to other states wines, and delicious pairings can be made. Highly recommend. read more

Adam Puchta Winery - Tasting room - Wineries Near Me - Hermann, Missouri

We had a great time at Adam Puchta. We had great weather and the outdoor patio/tent/music was in full swing. This was our first stop on the Hermann Trolly, so that probably also made it more enjoyable because we were just getting started and hadn't had too much to drink yet. We waiting briefly in line for a tasting but got in pretty quickly. The tasting was quick and they had more sweet wines than I would have liked, but the lady was very nice and everybody had a nice time. Chocolate and crackers were available for the tasting which was nice! It was a bit crammed in there, but again, we had a good time. We each got a drink and made our way down to the tent. No complaints down there and we were able to finish our drinks and get on the trolly in good time. The wine overall wasn't my favorite and the variety wasn't what I would have liked, but I enjoyed the glass that I ordered and would go back! read more

Wish I could give a review on the wine tasting but I never got a chance to do it. We pulled up and there were 7 cars in the parking lot so I thought "great we'll be able to get tasting right away." We went to the tasting room and it is TINY! Good luck getting any sort of group tasting here. We waited 15 minutes outside the tasting room before an employee said "wait there someone will grab you soon" then another 10 minutes later a different employee says "why are you waiting outside? You can go in" so we went in and then the person inside said "if you could please wait outside I cant serve you yet" Confusing and disorganized. I would love to come back and try this but the tasting room is a joke. It can hold maybe 10-15 people. So definitely not worth the trip. read more

It's hands down our favorite winery in Hermann. Do I even need to explain? First of all, a huge parking lot. A lot of the wineries don't have this luxury. Second, it's an affordable tasting. And they're pretty giving with them. Thirdly, there's a spot for EVERYONE to sit. Fourth, THEY HAVE FOOD. Good food. And lastly, my seller, clean bathrooms. Go here. read more

Kinda disappointed by our experience here. We were really excited to come, but we never were actually able to go into the tasting room. We stood outside for 15 minutes because the tasting room was full. Finally after 15 minutes someone came and talked to us and she said just give it a few more minutes then you can go in. Another 15 minutes later another coworker came out and told us that we could just go in and didn't have to wait outside. As soon as we got inside, the worker inside told us to please go back outside and wait until she was ready for us. Very confusing and disorganized. We were willing to wait but kept getting mixed information from the staff so we ended up just leaving. The tasting room is very small. The employee outside was also smoking cigarettes under the patio right by the front doors. We were drowning in the smell while we were waiting in line. Very disappointed. read more

Adam Puchta Winery - Cats outside - Wineries Near Me - Hermann, Missouri

TL:DR - Great place if you're looking to just drink wine and party. But the wine itself is pretty basic with no real stand outs. There's also zero measures taken to reduce the spread of covid outside of doing wine tastings outside and their wines are $5-$7 cheaper if you buy from the local save-a-lot. -------------------------------------- Wines we're fine, nothing really stood out as particularly good. To be honest, wine preferences will vary from person to person, so maybe you like wines I don't and vice versa. So really what it comes down to is the ambiance and other attributes of the winery itself. Came in on a Saturday and they had a live band playing that people were enjoying. Admission was $5, but that also got you a coupon for tastings of 6 of their wines (pre-selectedl. The seating area is relatively small and condensed in front of the stage. So if you like live music, this is a great spot. If you're trying to be responsible during the pandemic, this place is not the place for you. While the wine tasting is moved outside, which is great, literally NO ONE was wearing a mask. Zero customers and zero employees. The bottles of wine themselves, were rather expensive, the bottle of hunter's red that I got was $17 plus tax. What's frustrating about this is that they had the exact same bottle at the save-a-lot in town for about $10. In fact, the save-a-lot in town had several bottles of Adam puchta wine (not the entire roster though) for about $5-$7 cheaper than at the winery. I don't get why it would be cheaper there than at the source. Doesn't make any sense to me. Given that I really only like the hunter's red, I'll just skip the winery and go straight to the local save-a-lot. read more

This has always been one of my families favorite places to visit for the great tasting experience. We got to experience their Norton 7 course dinner last night which made my opinion of the winery even higher. The dinner was amazing, the tasting was fantastic, and the people were the best. Parker told such great stories and history. Lee gave such a great explanation of the wines and the property (definitely coming back for an elevated tasting). Chef Alex made an amazing dinner... his mini beef Wellington and chocolate lava cake were over the top. read more

One of my favorite Hermann wineries, and really awesome wine!!! But shhhhhh.....theres a secret. Go down to the cellar room....its amazing!!!! The bartenders are awesome, and its away from crowds. I could have stayed there all day. They also have the cutest gift shop with the best wone knick knacks!!! They are also known for their wine slushies! Hellooooo day drinking. Dont pass this winery up when out and about! read more

We had a good time here. The wine tasting was down the hill in the cellar. The cost was $5 for 8 tastings or $10 for 16 tastings. We did the 8 since we were tasting at so many places. We needed to pace ourselves. Haha!! Wine was served in pretty glasses & some was served with a bite of food that complimented the wine. Staff was very friendly. We bought a couple bottles & went out back to the tables in the yard. Cats wander throughout the premises looking for attention. Very sweet. read more

Stopping in here on a Saturday you wouldn't have any idea that we are in a pandemic. Absolutely no social distancing and virtually no masks. Lots of big groups were here - bachelorette, birthday parties, etc.. We only stayed because we had our own chairs to sit away from everyone. The lines were long and crowded. The wines were too sweet for my preference, but the wine slushies were refreshing on a hot day. The property is neat and I would consider coming back once the country has a better handle on COVID, but no sooner than that. read more

Was good. Cheap tasting at $5 for 6 wines. Very very quiet on a Thursday afternoon. Overall, we liked the atmosphere and bought a few bottles. Staff didn't wear masks, but there are shields everywhere. Didn't bother us as we were wearing them and I guess it makes sense since it's a small town. We will check it out again next time we are in Hermann. read more

Walked in for a tasting. $5 for a six-count flight. Walked out with four bottles we really liked. Service was amazing from a kitty cat greeting you outside to sommelier Danny. Funny kind knowledgeable patient friendly and honest. A truly pleasurable afternoon. read more

I seriously hate doing this! I love the wine! Love it! However we decided to eat their today and that was a HUGE mistake!! We got a pepperoni and bacon pizza, seems really hard to mess up....right? Well we got it and first off they put cheddar cheese on pizza... who does that?! Then we go to get a piece and the toppings all fall off and the crust is under cooked. We were unable to get any help as everyone was to busy. Drink the wine, NEVER eat here... trust me! read more

I'm only giving it 2 stars because are server was very friendly I was there 11/16 saterday and the tasting room is a tiny "shed" with so many people you can't move worst wine experience in my life read more

This place is wonderful!! My husband and I stopped here for the first time for our anniversary and were very impressed. It's a small little shop built in the 1850's, and that's definitely part of its charm. We arrived right before a big trolley full of wine tasters stopped in, so be prepared for a crowd. The service was wonderful and the lady supplying our tasting was very knowledgeable about the wine and the Puchta Daniel in general. We really enjoyed the Hunter's Red and Cat's Meow. She even gave us an taste of their Sherry since it was our anniversary- so good!! Apparently dogs are allowed inside and on the property so we'll have to bring along our pup next time. Can't wait for our next visit. read more

Wines were good but the service was sub par. The tasting was quick and to the point. We felt very rushed and unappreciated. We bought a few bottles of wine and each was placed in a bag as opposed to other patrons whose wine was places in a carrier. Would not recommend. read more

Great winery - the wine was good; love that they provided pairing snacks with the tastings! There are two different tasting rooms - one with their 8 bestsellers ($5/tasting) and a second to taste all others for $1/pour. The food was also excellent. We ordered a regular pizza (sausage + mushroom) and it was to DIE for. Fun atmosphere; there was live music and lots of seating available. This is definitely a can't-miss winery if you're near Hermann! read more

One of the best in Hermann. They had an awesome wine tasting for just $5. The wine slushies were fun, Carmel apple seasonal. Lines were a little long, but not shocked for a beautiful 60 degree day in November. The view wasn't my favorite but the wine quality was unmatched compared to others in the area. read more

This is a little off the beaten trail, but we found it. Weren't warmly greeted, and felt rushed through the tasting. We like dry wines and they had a few. We bought a bottle of red and drank it that night. It tasted better during the tasting. There is a small gift shop and prices are comparable to the other wineries. read more

I did a tasting here and it was amazing!! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They had one of the best gift shops I saw while in Hermann. They had cheeses and sausages and all kinds of preserved goods. The wines were very tasty and aromatic as well. We were given chocolate and cheese during the tasting to enhance the flavor. It was perfect with what we were drinking. I would definitely recommend making this a priority when visiting!! read more

Yelp says they're open until 6, but we went by at 4 on a Saturday in June and they were closed. Someone was outside at the gate and said they were closed on Sunday as well. The last time we visited, we enjoyed the place. We're unlikely to drive back, though, if they're randomly closed. read more

I love the wines here and the wine tasting. You taste 8 wines, your choice based on what you like with recommendations from the staff. Their vignoles and traminette are by far my favorite white MO wines. They give you samples of key lime cookies with the vignoles and chocolate chip pieces with some of the Norton grape wines. Really nice place, nice wines. Discounts on cases easily give you a bottle or two free. read more

It's a winery with kitties!!! That's the headline for the review of a winery I briefly visited last summer. There are cats everywhere outside. Inside, that's not the case. The staff explained that cats roam onto the property or get dumped. The owner makes sure they're altered and they get to stay on the property for life. There are many sources of food and water as well as adequate cat shelters. This has me won over. It was $5 to taste wines at Adam Puchta. They had quite a few wines, but the only one that struck me was Cat's Meow. Yes, they named a wine after the kitties! Cat's Meow is, I think, the only wine I have ever purchased for the bottle. It was drinkable, but not sweet like I like. I gave one bottle of Cat's Meow (hot pink label, big white fluffy cat) to a friend who liked it very much, and I still have my bottle (red label, black cat). I like wine, but I love kitties. Seeing how happy the cats are at Adam Puchta inspired me to start spaying/neutering feral cats in my community. If you see a feral cat, please remember that it didn't choose that sort of a life, and consider contacting a local feral cat coalition to find a suitable way for it to live its life. Thank you, Adam Puchta Winery, for caring. read more

My grandparents have a farm in Hermann, so I sometimes feel like I am a bit of an expert. I have now made it to every winery in Hermann, so I feel like I can honestly say Adam Puchta is my favorite. When you approach this winery, you drive up a gravel road and get a full view of the tasting rooms, which look like old barns. You are promptly greeted by adorable cats which live on the property. After chatting with the staff, I learned that the owner of Puchta is a huge animal lover! When cats show up on his property, he spays them and they just live in on the winery. He also built him these cute little cat shelters they can go in at night. What a life! This place earned it's five stars not only for wine, but social responsibility. I love it. The winery also allows dogs on leashes, so we brought our chihuahua, Julian. Although he was scared of the cats, I think he enjoyed all of the grass, trees, and new smells. Puchta only charges $5.00 for tasting fees, but you are able to taste a bunch of wines. They also pair them with these dessert crackers. One wine pairs with a key lime cookie, making it taste like a margarita! Yum! My husband and I have very different wine tastes. He likes his so sweet it is basically hummingbird food, and I prefer more dry. We met in the middle with Adam's Choice, and I bought myself some little cheddar crackers. After we bought our wine, we sat out at a picnic table and enjoyed some live music. I think this place is great for a group. After trying so many wines, we couldn't finish the bottle we bought. I recommend pacing yourself, as the tasting portions are generous (never a problem in my book.) read more

This would be 3 stars, but the wines I tasted were really great! That is why I go to wineries after all! We were among the first to sample their new "Cat's Meow" red, and it was fruity and complex with just the right amount of sweetness. Three stars because though it is a charming little location, it is missing those little "extra nice" touches that would make it more of a destination winery. It's also a bit awkard to spend time in the tasting room and then have to shuffle off to a separate store area to actually buy a bottle or two, it felt very disjointed. However, the staff was nice. There are cats wandering around. That can be a plus or a minus depending on how much you like cats, I think I spotted at least three. read more

Adam Puchta winery usually lives in the shadows of the larger Stone Hill located in Hermann, Missouri. But all in all, Puchta has won a lot of very prestigious awards with their wonderful wines. If you ever make it out to the beautiful countryside in Mid-Missouri then Puchta is a must stop. My favorite wine I sampled was the Legacy, a semi-dry red with a beautiful fruity/spicy aftertaste. Give them a try and I promise you won't be disappointing. From KC I-70 east to Hwy. 19 south, Hermann/New Florence, 15 miles south to Hermann. Then its two miles southwest of Hermann off Hwy.100 west on Frene Creek Road. And if you can't make it out but want to try some check out the list at their website--!! Just go to the KC section...I usually pick some up at Gomer's on 39th-! http://www.adampuchtawine.com/shop/buyWine.htm read more

As far as Covid precautions, tasting room is small but they are limiting the number of people. We found a couple of wines that we enjoyed.
